“Little acts of kindness

Nothing do they cost

But when they are wanting

Life’s best charm is lost”

I spent a whole day in small deeds of kindness and that brought immense satisfaction to me. These are some of the things I did today.

Feeding the Birds

Kindness to living things is the need of time. Over population and excessive construction has disturbed the birds and animals and has destroyed their habitat. It is our obligation to provide them with food and water.

I made tiny small pieces of roti and spread them on the roof for the birds to eat. In no time they ate all of it and I felt a lot satisfaction at my act.

Surprising Mother with a Cup of Tea

In the busy schedules of our lives, we get so absorbed in our studies and work that we are left with no time to spend with our families. Today I decided to spend quality time with my mother and what would be more relaxing than having a cup of tea together.

I surprised my mother by making tea and serving her in a lavish manner. The smile on her face was priceless.

Baking Brownie and Sharing with Next door Neighbor

Sharing food with neighbors always give me extra pleasure so I made brownie and shared with next door neighbor.

I baked brownie and sprinkled some powdered sugar and colorful sprinkles to make it more presentable

My neighbor was very delighted to receive the unexpected sweet and she complemented it “delicious”.

Jar of Motivation

Our words have great power and they leave an impact on others. Motivating someone when they are striving hard to achieve something encourages them. “One who is acknowledged is best rewarded”.

My sister is preparing for her Board exams and sometimes she is over stressed. I decided to encourage her so I wrote motivational quotes for her and told her to read one everyday.

She became very happy on seeing the jar and couldn't wait to read all the quotes. It gave her a new spirit and strength.

Go Green

It is our moral obligation to make the environment clean and green. To breathe longer we have to keep the Earth green. Plants are the supply of oxygen so it is important to take good care of them. I spent some of my time cleaning a little portion of the plant bed.

The picture before I started

I picked up the dried leaves, dug up the soil and watered the plants.

The plants looked refreshing and green and it made me so much happy.

I was so satisfied after doing all these acts of kindness. They inculcated in me the sense of achievement and good will.
